| Abstract: | Inorganic elements in common tropical chewing sticks. Chewing species from tropical West Africa were analysed for 11 inorganic elements using inductively coupled plasma and ion chromatography. Inorganic contents in the whole wood, xylem and bark meals were analysed. The elements accounted for 26 to 74% of the ash content. Calcium and potassium concentrations were highest while phosphorus,aluminum, sodium, magnesium and fluorine were found in appreciable amounts. Notable differences in elemental concentrations occurred between the bark and xylem and between species. |
